A boolean that indicates whether the images can be altered. If the value is true, you cannot modify the image.

Note: Due to image licensing agreements and other legal concerns, modification (including resizing) of some images is strictly prohibited. These images are for display as-is only.

estimatedAvailableQuantity

The estimated quantity of this item that are available for purchase. Because the quantity of an item can change several times within a second, it is very difficult to return the exact quantity. So instead of returning quantity, the estimated availability of the item is returned.

Note: If the seller of an item has the available threshold setting turned on, the value of this field will be null, and the availability of the item will instead be expressed through the availabilityThresholdType and availabilityThreshold fields.
Note: To see if a listing is available for purchase, review the itemEndDate and estimatedAvailablityStatus fields. If the item has an EndDate in the past, or the estimatedAvailabilityStatus is OUT_OF_STOCK, the item is unavailable for purchase.

availabilityThresholdType

This column has a value only when the seller sets their availability threshold preference. The value of this column will show MORE_THAN, which indicates that the seller has more than the available threshold preference in stock for this item. Because the quantity of an item can change several times within a second, it is very difficult to return the exact quantity.

Note: This field and the availabilityThreshold field will be returned as null if the actual quantity meets or drops below the threshold value, and then the buyer will want to look at the value in the estimatedAvailableQuantity field.

availabilityThreshold

This column has a value only when the seller sets their availability threshold preference.

The value of this column will be "10", which is the threshold value.

Note: This field and the availabilityThresholdType field will be returned as null if the actual quantity meets or drops below the threshold value, and then the buyer will want to look at the value in the estimatedAvailableQuantity field.

itemSnapshotDate

This timestamp denotes the date and time the changes for that item were picked up and added to the snapshot feed file.

For example, let's say you have a snapshot feed file and also ran the getItem method. When you compare the same item information from the two sources, you see that the price in the getItem method response is different from the price in the snapshot feed file. By knowing the date and time you submitted the getItem method, you can use the itemSnapshotDate data to determine which price is the most current for this item.

Format: UTC yyyy-MM-ddThh:mm:ss.sssZ

originalPriceValue

The original selling price of the item. This lets you surface a strikethrough price for the item.

originalPriceCurrency

The currency of the originalPriceValue of the item and the discountAmount.

discountAmount

The calculated amount of the discount (originalPriceValue - priceValue). For example, if originalPriceValue is 70 and priceValue is 56, this value would be 14.

discountPercentage

The calculated discount percentage. For example, if originalPriceValue is 70 and discountAmount is 14, this value will be 20.

TimeDurationUnitEnum is a common type shared by multiple eBay APIs and fields to express the time unit, but for return period duration, this value will always be DAY.

An enumeration value representing how a buyer is refunded when an item is returned.

Code so that your app gracefully handles any future changes to this list.

Code so that your app gracefully handles any future changes to this list.

Indicates the European energy efficiency rating (EEK) of the item. This field is returned only if the seller specified the energy efficiency rating.

The rating is a set of energy efficiency classes from A to G, where 'A' is the most energy efficient and 'G' is the least efficient. This rating helps buyers choose between various models.

To retrieve the manufacturer's specifications for this item, when they are available, use the getItem method in the Browse API. The information is returned in the productFicheWebUrl field.

additionalImageUrls

A pipe separated (|) list of URLs for the additional images of the item. These images are in addition to the primary image, which is returned in the imageUrl column. Note: This column can contain multiple values.
